💨 Abstract

Social media has sparked discussions on whether children are "living room kids" (spending more time in shared family spaces) or "bedroom kids" (spending more time in their private rooms). Neither is clinically recognized, but these terms reflect natural evolutions in childhood behavior. Clinical psychologist Dr. Lilia Mucka Andrew emphasizes that these labels aren’t absolute, and it’s crucial for parents to support their children in feeling safe and comfortable, whether they prefer shared spaces or solitude.
